Explanation:
The future continuous tense, sometimes also referred to as the future progressive tense, is a verb tense that indicates that something will occur in the future and continue for an expected length of time. It is formed using the construction will + be + the present participle (the root verb + -ing).
The PAST PROGRESSIVE TENSE indicates continuing action, something that was happening, going on, at some point in the past. This tense is formed with the helping "to be" verb, in the past tense, plus the present participle of the verb (with an -ing ending): I was riding my bike all day yesterday.
The present progressive tense (sometimes called the present continuous) is a tense which describes an action which began in the past and is still going on now.Any sentence that uses 'is' or 'are' and then a verb with the '–ing' suffix is present progressive tense.
